We fell in love with café culture whilst visiting Switzerland and were inspired by the Swiss obsession for quality produce and service. We serve the highest quality coffee and tea alongside our favourite cakes and light lunches.

We were enticed in by the frappe adverts but I actually had a peanut butter milkshake, I know bizarre right, but seriously delicious if you're a peanut butter fan. Nth is was accompanied by the seriously ginger cake which I can sum up in a few short words TO DIE FOR! If nothing else you must try this cake.

Made to order sandwiches and lovely cakes. The BLT here is just great. Clean, welcoming cafe that is always busy. Staff are efficient and very friendly. Bonus for the clean toilets with pass code door for customers only.

Went today and was surprised on how good this place was! The staff were brilliant and very helpful. The soup tasted brilliant and the sandwiches were jam packed with fillings. Thank you we will be back.

Myself and my wife were made most welcome when we called in for refreshments.the owner of the establishment was very curtiuos and was very helpful with local knowledge from the moment we entered the establishment to the time we left we felt relaxed and the cake was to die for.Thankyou from Chris and carole

On entering Café Treff, we were greeted with a very warm welcome by Berni, the owner. After a lovely chat, we ordered lunch, a variety of sandwiches and cakes and of course a lovely pot of tea!! many varieties are available. Food was delicious. Sadly we didn't manage to return, but would certainly recommend it. All staff were very friendly....

a repeat visit to our favourite little cafe in Ambleside. Ideal as a pick up after a walk with a great selection of 'proper' tea and some wonderful food. Thoroughly recommend the goats cheese and cranberry muffin and chocolate, fruit and nut slice. Just need walk it all off now!
